يا يَومَنا عِندَها عُد بِالنَعيمِ لَنا
مِنها وَيا لَيلَتي في بَيتِها عودي
O day we spent with her, return to us with bliss
O our day when she is there, promise us bliss
From her; and O my night in her house, return!
Let me return at night to her house
إِذ بِتُّ أَنزِعُ مِنها حَليَها عَبَثاً
بَعدَ اِعتِناقٍ وَتَقبيلٍ وَتَجريدِ
When I spent the night playfully removing her jewels,
When I stay I remove her jewelry playfully
After embraces, kisses, and undressing,
After embracing, kissing, and undressing
كَما تَطاعَمَ في خَضراءَ ناعِمَةٍ
مُطَوَّقانِ أَصاخا بَعدَ تَغريدِ
As they fed one another amid lush greenery—
As we enjoyed together in lush greenness
Two ring-necked doves, listening intently after cooing.
Wearing grape vine rings after singing
وَقَد سَقَتني رُضاباً غَيرَ ذي أَسَنٍ
كَالمِسكِ ذُرَّ عَلى ماءِ العَناقيدِ
And she had given me sweet saliva to drink, free of staleness,
She served me a drink without a refined cup
Like musk sprinkled over the juice of grape clusters,
Like musk poured on grape juice
مِن خَمرِ بيسانَ صِرفاً فَوقَها حَبَبٌ
شيبَت بِهِ نُطفَةٌ مِن ماءِ يَبرودِ
Of pure Baysan wine, with bubbles upon its surface;
Of Baisan wine strained atop it is raisins
A drop of Yabrud water was mixed with it.
With which an embryo from cool water was conceived
غادى بِها مازِجٌ دِهقانُ قَريَتِهِ
وَقّادَةَ اللَونِ في كَأسٍ وَناجودِ
A wine-mixer, his village's headman, brought it at dawn,
It was mixed by a village tavern keeper
Fiery in color, in a goblet and a wine vessel.
And the color guide in a cup and wrap
إِذا سَمِعتَ بِمَوتٍ لِلبَخيلِ فَقُل
سُحقاً وَبُعداً لَهُ مِن هالِكٍ مودي
If you hear of a miser's death, say:
If you hear of the death of a miser, say
Away with him, far away—a man dead and gone!
"Perish! May he be far from a destroying loved one."
Sol 6.1
